Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll
The Quick and Pithy of MY READING MIND…
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll
A highly lively story, this little gem! Almost interactive, I think, because Alice talks to herself and insists that any story must have dialogue. Oddly enough, the colorful illustrations bring more to the story sometimes helps himself to give – DoDos and Eaglets, and that great big Puppy – not so well described for the sake of moving the story at a kid’s-attention-span pace.
This is a fast little story, and more like a game of 52-pickup. It’s no wonder people in the 1960s liked to read this story while high. Actually, perhaps this is the only way an adult can live-ily see the sense of this beautiful dream (kids get it instinctively; their sense of wonder hasn’t yet been weighed down by society).
Carroll’s story did not enchant me. I was, mostly, bored: whenever something was just into happening, Carroll pulled the plug by a) ending the conversation, or b) jumping to a new scene, or c) introducing a new character as though he needed a random change. Talk about being high.
